Business first, I finished one commission and it turned out great. Client picked it up but I cannot show you because it is a gift. My next commission is also well on its way and hopefully it will be finished early this week.
Now on to fun! This past weekend we had our annual get away with our friends the Hildebrands. I am giving you all the websites and our itinerary in case you want a weekend getaway, Linda (my personal tour guide and planner) made it easy for you!! Our first stop was Frederick, MD. We started with breakfast at Frederick Coffee Shop. Followed by an excellent history walking tour of downtown Frederick, MD. Very interesting and worth the time. Then on Lexington VA. We started with a carriage ride to give us an overview. Checked into our B&B for the weekend. We stayed at Shenandoah Manor and while it was ok, and as advertised, just not quiet as good as we expected. Dinner at Southern Inn however was excellent. Saturday morning we toured Stonewall Jackson's house, he was a very interesting man. Next was Lee Chapel & Museum, excellent. A nice lunch at Sweet Treats Bakery and a fantastic Cadet guided tour of VMI and then the VMI Museum. Loved VMI! We had another excellent dinner at Red Hen. Sunday was spent at Monticello, home to Thomas Jefferson. Saw the view on the back of our nickel! In fact the views from his home were beautiful. The only thing better was if the leaves had turned. Great weekend weather, good food and tours and great friends.
Monday, I am back to my paints!
